  • BRITTANY GRINER & THE NATIONAL ANTHEM (E102)

    Sometimes it takes people being away from the United States to realize just how a special a place this is. Brittany Griner knows after being locked in a Russian jail cell for 10 months. I'm glad she's back home and even more glad she's decided to stand for the anthem of this great country. I think this is important and more people should know about her change of heart. Enjoy!

  • Can we TRUST THE MEDIA? (E83)

    Rainman discusses recent polling showing a lack of trust in the main stream media.  He also highlights two interviews that seem to reflect that feeling and uses them as examples of why there is a lack of trust.  The fourth institution is so important to the health of our constitutional republic, but only if it is impartial and dedicated to "truth" and holding leaders accountable.  Unfortunately the current state of our media has devolved into propaganda arms of either side of the aisle.  That is a problem and that is why many people do not trust the media.  Enjoy!

  • IRAN, URANIUM, and THE NEW YORK TIMES oh my! and some professional wrestling thrown in (E84)

    Rainman gives his take on two other noteworthy news articles of this past week.  Iran is acquiring uranium by any means necessary; enemies of the US are establishing footholds in central and South America.  Also, the New York Times just stated what has been obvious to us for two years, Hunter's laptop is actually newsworthy.  Plus some bonus professional wrestling at the end...Enjoy!

  • THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE of the United States of America as read by THE RAINMAN (E82)

    Your host Rainman reads the entire DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE on the weekend of the 246th anniversary of the birth of our great country.  Also, some takes on what the constitution means especially in today's crazy world.  Millions of people from around the world still want to come to the USA, it is still the "Shining city on the hill" as Reagan once said.  There is a lot of reason to be optimistic about the USA.  Enjoy!

  • PAKISTAN AND THE GEOPOLITICS OF CENTRAL ASIA from someone who's been there (E81)

    A great discussion about the geopolitics of central asia over the last decade in particular in Pakistan.  (PODCASTER'S NOTE: AT 4:56 JOJO TALKS ABOUT RECOGNITION OF THE DURANT LINE, THE BORDER; ACTUALLY THE AFGHAN AMIR ACKNOWLEDGED IT IN 1893.  THE PAKISTANI GOVERNMENT STILL ACKNOWLEDGES IT, BUT THE TALIBAN DOES NOT.  IT'S AN ONGOING SOURCE OF TENSION). Rainman and JoJo talk about JoJo's experiences while being stationed in Islamabad, Pakistan and just how important that area of the world has been over the last 20 years.  They go from the killing of Osama Bin Laden to current issues with contested borders.  Pakistan will continue to be very important moving into the future and will most likely impact how much influence China will have in the region.  Enjoy!

  • GHANA, AFRICA: a modern perspective (E80)

    Dr. Christian Bannerman joins me to discuss the modern transformation of Ghana, Africa.  I don't know much about Africa so it's nice to talk to someone from there to help understand what is happening over there.  Because like I always say, if you only get your news from one source, you're not informed.  I can't wait to go on one of Christian's missions.  Enjoy!

  • DEALING WITH THE HOMELESS CRISIS; a local Encinitas perspective (E79)

    Jeff Morris runs the Encinitas Watchdog Group and they have been actively monitoring how the homeless issue became a crisis in Encinitas, CA.  This issue did not happen organically, it was basically manufactured by arguably a corrupt system that is designed to make money off the homeless issue.  It's a sad commentary but one that is actually happening not just in Encinitas, CA but I would suggest, all over the country.  It's not a pleasant topic but it's very informative.  Enjoy

  • PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS; there's more to this topic than you think (E78)

    CC King discusses his experiences early on with the anti-doping commission and the research and chemistry involved in trying to catch athletes cheating by artificially enhancing their bodies.  But there is more to this topic and with the advances in biomechanics among other things, the question becomes almost more of philosophical one; what constitutes cheating and how far can/should we go to reach the pinnacle of human performance.  Really interesting stuff.  Enjoy!

  • QUANTUM THEORY , ENTANGLEMENT & YOU! (E77)

    This is a great conversation about QUANTUM THEORY, ENTANGLEMENT, AND ZERO POINT THEORY.  Check out the links below for more on what Kevin talks about...  It's all energy and we as beings made of energy are subject to these amazing forces.  Kevin helps people better understand their position in the line as far as how their energies can dictate how they are living their lives.  Really cool stuff is QUANTUM THEORY and ENTANGLEMENT ...Enjoy!  Here is the precognitive reaction/heart intelligence study: https://youtu.be/apK8h1B9UbQ And here is the distances between the pyramids: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTdpA8h5V/?k=1 #quantumtheory #quantumentanglement #quantum
